The Vogue Theater

Finishing up a triple play of old movie theaters in the Richmond District that started with the Clay Theater, then the Four Star Theater, and finishing with the Vogue Theater. This movie house originally opened in 1910 as the Elite Theater, on information from Cinema Treasures. (Thumbnail images)

Another cool picture from opensfhistory.org of a streetcar passing the Vogue Theater in 1942:

  

Another view from west of Presidio in May of 1946: Wow, KYA Radio! (opensfhistory.org)

 

A streetcar passing the theater in 1948: I had a difficult time getting a perfect line up on this one while standing in the intersection but, it turned out okay. I enjoy it when all of the old buildings in a post are still around. (San Francisco Library Digital Archives)

  

Looking back toward the Vogue on Sacramento Street from west of Presidio Avenue, during the 1990s: I was off on my match up here, as well, but it wasn’t all my fault; moving farther over, the bus waiting there would have blocked more of my view of the Vogue. (opensfhistory.org)
